Great paintjob, Warren!!! And with a spray-can I suppose?? If you knew how the body of my McLaren MP 4/4 looks after using that Tamiya shite...

Oh, well, I'll try to save it.....

Good work! And that goes for GTI1800 too!

Cheers,

I've generally had good results with Tamiya spraycans...did you heat up the can before using it?

Yeah, I did!! My first disastrous paint layer was applied cold from my airbrush on the white primer, since I didn't trust the nozzle on the can. This dried horribly. I sanded the body and applied the paint straight from the can. Although not perfect, it dried wonderfully! I have had none of the problems on this McLaren that I have had with white on my 1/12 Brabham. So it's a matter of "pilot error" instead of a faulty Tamiya product, I guess...

Cheers,
Erik.

Great ultra-tuned VW Golf you have done GTI1800.
Like the colour too.
